First Start Up And Test Ride Of The Season | 2021 CRF150R 

I do the same thing with my 150r but I twist the throttle 2 times then turn the choke on, I found that if I twist the throttle with choke on it floods the carb, but every bike is different

@@colinikeodurham9483 but why 🤷‍♂️

That's what seems to work well 👌

At what point during all this do you push the choke back in?

@@RuthBethea-f5h thank you

Yeah I've tried everything with this bike.... My dad has an 07 and it starts easily every time 🤷‍♂️

@@cbkmdfiekbxtyrf6666 but why 🤔

If you're looking for a ton of power yes... If you want something with electric start and just put around on I'd go with the CRF125F or 250F that's the trail version of this it's air-cooled instead of water cooled and has re-start amongst other things. It's also a bit cheaper and possibly easier to find used. Hope this helps 👊😎

Also this 150 is about the size of an 80 so if you want a full size you're gonna want to go with something different

@maxkrueger-jt1iu thanks for watching

Yeah that generally works.... It hadn't ran for over a year though so I didn't expect it to start, then it started to smell like gas so it was already flooded 🤷‍♂️

@@MotoFamMayhem Oh! Haha, never mind what I said then 😃😂

Yeah it starts way better now.... Usually first or second kick

@@MotoFamMayhem Nice i mean my method is to open the fuel and chocker. Then i gas it twice and hold it a little bit open while kicking.

I've heard the same

Ya it’s a jetting issue

@erickmontoya6270 this definitely seemed to help

Will do thank you 😊

We are super late on getting the bikes out this year 😅

@@MotoFamMayhem At least there out. I haven't rode yet.

@@onesabez in that regard we rode all winter because of Brianna's indoor races, I follow her around on the tiny CRF50F ✊🤪 But our big bikes have all been tied up all winter

That's exactly what I forgot to do 🤦‍♂️

A couple backfires on deceleration would be considered normal.... And besides I'm sure you're referring to afterfire, backfiring is when the combustion comes back out the intake that's why 4 strokes have a backfire screen before the filter or it'll catch on fire. An afterfire fire is when unburnt fuel is ignited within the exhaust system (after combustion) hope that makes sense 🤔

This one starts very easily too now I'm going to have to make an updated video

Good idea 💡

They need rejetted... And they're also just hard to start. Our 07 starts first kick even when cold though 🤷‍♂️ but it's been rejetted

Damn make me not want the bike I’m going to trade my kx112 for that but it’s making me not want it I even suck at starting my kx112 I’m a new rider I should jus prbly get a fckn TTR I don’t want to be kicking the bike a million times they should have made it with electric start

They are fun bikes that's for sure 🤟😁

Very true.... I've been doing this on my daughter's bikes lately 😁👌

@@MotoFamMayhem I learned the hard way on my CRF100F. I let the bike set for a few months with the old ethanol fuel. The jets got plugged, I had to remove the carburetor and clean jets - major pain. Now I always run the carb dry after every single start up of the bike. I also add a little Seafoam gas additive when refueling. After using this technique, the bike has never failed to start 🤙

This seems to work well.... It starts easily now 🤷‍♂️

I am noticing that I have to get a thumb screw for the fuel that way I don't have to take the carb off

They are standard in color

@@MotoFamMayhem thanks for the reply appreciate it 🙏

They're probably not gonna go EFI on the 150R/RB

@@MotoFamMayhem Sadly it looks like Honda has kind of abandon it. Mostly only stickers has change since the original release.

The seat height of the R is about the same as an 85 and the RB would be about the same as an 85 big wheel I'd imagine. As far as height I'd say you're "technically" already too tall for the R but I have no idea of your preferred riding style or skill level. As you can see in this video I'm an adult riding the R variation and I'm 3 inches taller and 20 or so pounds heavier and I really enjoy the bike but I mainly ride a full sized 250F. As it would compare to the TTR well it will have a clutch and it's water cooled higher compression for race performance and MX suspension.... I'm sure there's alot more including gear ratio and such but you probably get the idea here it's way higher performance than the TTR110.... Your talking the difference between a pit bike and a race bike, and legend has it the CRF150R is a scale replica of the CRF450R ✊😁

@@MotoFamMayhem well Ik all the basics because of the raptor 350 but I’m thinking about keeping it for a lil longer then I’m going to switch to the 150r because I don’t want a 250 for my first bike, so when I do get the 150r then after I can get a 250

@@Ianford07 that's a great idea

Yeah that's not very much fun.... Apparently jetting helps but it usually starts for us first or second kick if it's not been sitting too long, at the point this video was shot that bike had sat for about a year I believe. But yeah they are notorious for being hard to start

@@MotoFamMayhem I have to kick that thing 40 to 50 times to get it to start. Not worth my time or patience to keep it. It's a shame because it's a great bike if you can get it to start.

@@traxzracing7410 agreed thing has some decent power for it's small size

I have a 2022 too im ready to get rid of the bike cant start it for shit

@@itsnaj780 I got rid of mine a few months ago. Bought a 2023 GasGas 85 and the kid loves it. The Honda was a sweet bike if you could get it started. Just got tired of messing with it.

I found that out the hard way 😅

@@MotoFamMayhem lol it happens

It's great 👍

You know it ✊️😅

They are awesome.... We also have an 07 🤟😁

too much fun guys ;-)

2007 crf150r man i love em

Certainly 👌

The 150R is an amazing little bike ✊😁 it's only the size of an 85 though 😉

Yes

@@MotoFamMayhem thanks!

That's interesting even with it in neutral

@@MotoFamMayhem With the clutch in there is less moving parts and friction making it easier

Yeah it's a great bike

It depends how you ride like if u ride tracks and on big fields then keep the 85 but if u do like technical stuff and slow riding get a 150 for sure

No! Don't waste your time or money like I did buying a 150R. Stay with the 85.

@@traxzracing7410 why?

@@Vinniepoothey make around the same power and the 150r weighs more if you just want something thats 4 stroke then 150r is good

You too 🎉 😆

Sounds mean, there Soo much fun to ride

It is super fun.... Can't wait to take it out in the next week or two 🤟😁

Whatever you're willing to put in 🤷‍♂️
